This guide discusses the rise of the computer in the workplace and how to cope with it. There are case studies of people who have been faced with the problem of being replaced by a computer: the tradesman's tale, the dealer's tale, the manufacturer's tale and the typist's tale. Reassuringly, there is also the "nerd's" tale, explaining why computer nerds don't necessarily get all the breaks. Another section includes a short summary of Silicon Valley's 2000-year-old favourite book, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. There is a crash course in technology, management jargon and office power politics in the technological age. There is a section showing how to explain the predicament to one's family, and another which lets readers in on the facts about computers which bosses probably don't understand either.
